Arches National Park 2011

Well we finally made it to Arches for Spring Break. We planned it in December and it came too slow and went to fast. It felt so good to be with my whole family for four days. My mom is awesome. She spent hours and hours making all of the granddaughters new spring skirts, bought them shirts to match and bought the boys shirts for a grand photo shoot on the red rocks. It sounded perfect, but herding cats is no easy job and I hope someone else got a better picture. But that being said here are all of my mom and dad's cute grandkids.

Just the girls: Natalie, Hallie, Abbie, Eliza, Maelee and Makia. They looked so pretty with their matching cloths. And their hair looked fabulous thanks to aunt Colette and her magic with a brush. (Oh and Tricia's hands snapping the picture...awesome.)


Here we are enjoying the nice WARM weather at Dead Horse Point. Glad we packed the winter coats. :)


Russell, Abbie and Eliza exploring a little canyon.


I liked this picture of Eliza, Abbie and Sydney looking over the edge of a drop off.


The "big kids" of the trip. Aiden, Hallie and Natalie were off exploring the whole time. Catching lizards, climbing rocks and trees anything they could try they did...including Uncle Nate's Lemon Squeeze walk. I chickened out on the squeeze it was too squeezee.


Here we are at Delicate Arch. Jack hiked the whole way to the top. He was a fun, scary climber on those rocks.


Uncle Nate found a new toy he loved, Russell's RC car. Shanntel, his wife, said he has a big jeep to play with he doesn't need a little one too. :) Too bad Nate.


Double Arch. We left on Saturday, the best weather day of course, and stopped here on the way out.


There is my cute girl! She wore holes on the bum of two pairs of pants and climbed with the best of them.
